this is my favorite book of 2025 and who knows how far back. i was blown away by all of it. the narration was magnificent. the level of nature took me right there. in spite of the fact that this is a sad scary story about climate change, it is also a brilliant story about nature and resilience and the beauty that surrounds us, EVERY SINGLE DAY. and this goes for humans, too. might we stop and value our relationships more. might we care more tenderly for our loved ones. might we speak up and openly instead of hiding. so many things to ponder and take away. i love armchair adventure and this book really fits the bill. the characters are rich and complex. there is something for everyone but it is especially a book for readers who care about the earth and about our tender hearts. read this book!
